(A) Rat is placed in a cloth harness and attached to the end of the body weight support device. Orientation of the rat's torso is adjustable with a lockableball joint and the amount of weight support delivered to the animal is precisely controlled. Rat steps bipedally in the device and the small robotic arms attach to each hindlimb with neoprene straps. (B) Robotic linkages attach to the rat's hindlimb by holding together both ends of a neoprene strap with an alligator clip. Alligator clip is allowed to rotate within the parasagittal plane of the animal. (From [40])
